EVERETT – A convicted car thief released from prison nine days ago is behind bars again, suspected of driving a stolen car and leading police on a brief pursuit.
A Snohomish County sheriff’s deputy spotted the stolen car shortly before 3 p.m. in the 15400 block of Highway 99 and tried to stop the man, sheriff’s office spokeswoman Jan Jorgensen said.
After a short chase, the man stopped the car and ran, leaving a woman passenger behind, she said. The woman allegedly tried to climb behind the wheel and flee, but was arrested.
Deputies searched for the man, who was sniffed out in a nearby trailer park by Taz, a sheriff’s office dog. He was arrested on suspicion of possession of stolen property and eluding police.
